The Gazette says we drove the Teach.
ers' Institute to meet at Leesburg this
year. Who told you so, sonny? The
plain fact is that such thing was pro.
Jected before we provoked the peda.
gogues to wrath last summer. The COM
mittee has been in the habit of soliciting
from citizens, and they usually hold the
Institute where they get the largest do.
nations. In the palmy days Of our his
tory the saloonists were among the lib.
eral givers to the Institute fund. The
chances are that when any town puts up
the ducats, she will get the session Of
the Institute.

Jefferson Davis has written a letter
denouncing prohibition, on the ground
that too much legislating is being done,
and prohibitory statutes are among the
unnecessary freaks of Lawmakers. The
South is far in advance of the North in
the regulation and prohibition of the
liquor traffic, and this sentiment is ex.
ceedingly unpopular. Perhaps if Jeffer.
son lives long enough and continues to
shoot OF his mouth at the present amaz-
ing rate, even his devoted admirers in
Dixie will cease to regard his twaddle
as the expression of an oracle.

Death to Mildew.

Eaily in July we treated vine on
which mildew had commenced to work.
both on leaves and fruit, with sulphide
of potash, with the result that the fun
gus was Immediately destroyed, and to
this time it has not again appeared.
The vine was syringed with a solution
of the sulphide, one ounce TO four gal
Ions of water The widowed places
appear on the fruit rs blackish and
well-detined spots. The fruit has gone
on and developed, apparently without
check. Here, then, is an agent that
can lie employed to check and destroy
one of the worst foes vine-growers
have had to combat. As we
have at different times stated,
the value of sulphide of potash for the
destruction of mildew on vegetation,
giving also cases in proof of its eff
fects, we hope that some of our read
crs may have tried IL on widowed
vines the past season, and if so, that
they will give us their experience with
it. The editor of the Orchard and
Garden in his late issue, makes the
statement that the Ftench sulphate OF
copper and lime remedy, recommend
ed by the Department of Agriculture,
does not prevent mildew, and that il
is developing and spreading on vines
to which it has been applied. Our adj
vice is to try sulphide of potash

OUR COAL FIELDS.

Cellars of Bottled Sunshine.


Cellars of Bottled Sunshine.
A remarkable popularity of the life
If these modern days is the discovery
of immense cellars of bottled sunshine.
For, speaking unconventionally, how
can we better describe our coal fields?
From these we obtain heat, light and
force, by fires, gas and steam engines.
to n wonderful! extent. AT present we
use this in very wasteful fashion.
And as a rule we do not get five per
cent of the energy stored in the coal
we use. At recent trial of steam-en-
gines one was able to use twelve per
cent of the energy stored in the coal it
burned, and that was thought re-
markable result The great problem
evermore is, at which shop can we get
our sunshine most cheaplyP Direct
solar power can only be had very occa-
sionally, and the cost of bottling is high.
Water power can only be had at certain
places and hence often leads to expenses
which prevent it being economical.
Similar is it with wind power. Horse
power is dear. the growth of the food
Of the animal. his stable, and attend
ants run into money. At present coal
power is the cheapest. Electric ma
chinery is not source, it is only n
medium, not bottle, buta glass, from
which energy is consumed. 1t needs
power to produce an electric current.
Its value in the conveyance of energy is
very great So that in time it may
prove cheap way of getting sunshine
to work. 1t is n OF always least costly
to buy at the cheapest market, the con-
veyance of goods home may cost more
than the extra price of purchasing
nearer home. For particular work
at particular place it is an open ques-
ton whether sunshine can be cheapest
gained from the winds, from swift
stream, from coal mines, or from the
sun direct. So also whether it can be
best applied direct, or through the
agency Of steam or OF electricity. MI.
John Stuart Mil, an acute though not
over-wise thinker, signalized a brief
political career by starting scare about
the exhaustion of our coal mines. This
will not take place for centuries, SO we
can leave posterity to take care ofitself.
Recently a new cellar of immense ex-
tent has been found in mineral oil
springs. By the time these enormous
stores are exhausted it is highly prob
able that some method of getting at
and using the mighty central heat of
the earth may be discovered. We have
no need of anxiety as to the suppl Y of
energy running short. Christian al

Upland Rice.

Upland or white rice is coming rap

is one of the crops that bring good re-
suits on poor pine land the first year.

rowed thoroughly, the seed is then
scattered broadcast one and half
bushels per acre, and narrowed in.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Saving Seed Corn.

There appears to be quite differ
o. &c in opinion as to the proper time
for selecting seed corn and also the
method Of curing the same. While
we all wish for perfect ear, yet many
suffer great loss from poor seed caused
from want of care at this season of the
year. One year ! selected the first
ripe, while yet uncut, traced. and
hung up in the gables of buildings. l
had fair results with this method,
which, at the time, | thought to be the
best.
Since then had learned a better
way, found in allowing the crop to be
cut as soon as glazed and stocked;
when dry seed was selected and cured
in room well ventilated, while being
kept warm by means Of a fire. A test
in Ohio seed thus treated, being plant
cd on the same day side by side with
seed cured in the old way, resulted in
favor of the new process While by
the new process the seed was five
inches high, the former was but three
inches, showing conclusively that there
was virtue in the new process of select
ing and curing seed.
One reason of this improved condi-
tion arises from the fact that while the
flow of sap on its upward course in the
stalk is raw and reaching the top is
there digested, on its downward course
1t enters the car. giving little finishing
touch required by nature to form a
perfect seed. BY the aid of artificial
heat in drying. the germ is strength
ened. causing vigorous growth not
SO liable to rot if followed by cold and
unfavorable weather Immediately after
planting.
Admitting this principle to be cor
rect one could hardly think favor
ably of the old style of topping corn
to ripen the ear, whereby we cut of
all the flow of sap, much to the det-
riment of both seed and stalks. As to
the time best suited for harvesting
corn to secure the greatest nutritive
ratio, have tested with my cows by
feeding the same at various stages OF
the growth. The best returns in but
ter product were secured when the
stalks were cut as the ear was begin.

corn should be cut and stocked al

There are several newspapers devoted
exclusively to the undertaking trade,
among which are the Stroud, the Tomb,
the Cdsket, the Craze, and the Stiff. The
Stiff is humorous publication, devoted ex-
clusively to the retailing Of small jokes
concerning fatal accidents and mortuary
affairs. The others are pretentious, solemn
looking journals, profusely illustrated with
the latest patterns in collins, shrouds and
other pleasantries connected with the
grave. A special department entitled
"Chit-Chat of the Trade" adorns the edi-
torisl page Of the ShrOud. 1t is illustrated
with cut of two gentlemen, who look as
though they had just risen from the grave,
and who, seated upon a couple of collins,
are smoking cigarettes and evidently dis.
cussing th benefits of the latest medicine.
In the same PAPER, one portion of a column
only is devoted to levity. The department
is called "Nut Crackers, and embellished
with a cut representing person with d
ferocious mustache standing on coffin,
and breaking nuts with a shinbone on the
top of gravestone.

USEFUL SOCIETIES.
The Origin and Progress OF American
Agricultural Associations.

The Origin and Progress OF American
Agricultural Associations.
The number of societies in England
holding fairs relating to agriculture
and live stock, ETC., is officially stated
at one hundred and ten. The dates of
the fairs range from May 26 to Decem-
Der 18 Among those are the Bath
and West of England Society, organ
lied in TIT, the first farmers club in
England. The Royal Agricultural
Society, which has exerted so wide an
influence upon improved processes and
cultivation in soil and animal farming
of the world, was founded in 1888.
Its motto was practice with Science"
In 1910 England had organized
Board of Agriculture, of which Sir
John Sinclair was president and
Arthur Young secretary. There we've
in this year eighty-one agricultural So
cieties in regular working order, and
of one of these the Badenach and
Strathspey Society, he celebrated
Duchess of Gordon was president
The first agricultural society formed
in America was "Thc Philadelphia
(Pa,) Society for Promoting Agricult-
ure." Among the awards of this So
cicty in 1890 was gold medal to Mr..
Matheson for the best sample and
greatest quantity of cheese.
The first agricultural society ever
incorporated in America was the $50
ciety for the Promotion of Agriculture,
! of South Carolina, established in 1875.
Its objects included, among others, the
; institution of u farm for experiments,
and the importation and distribution of
! products suited to the climate of that
State.
In New York a "Society for the Adj
vancement of Agriculture was incor-
porated in 1871, but it died at the age
| of ten years.
The Society for the Promotion OF
Useful Arts, in which agriculture was
first named, established in 1904, pub
lished seven volumes of Transactions
previous to 1915. The New York State
Agricultural Society held its first regu-
lar fair in 1910, the admission being
twelve and one-half cents.
In Massachusetts, in 1903, the trus.
tees of the Massachusetts, Society fol
Promoting Agriculture, offered among
others, premium of one hundred dol
lars, or the societys gold medal for {
cheap and cffectual method of destroy
